> But for now, test out all the possible combinations of 2 glyphs on various trees.
You try casting the Ball and Projectile glyphs at a tree. (Magic: Glyphs) (Glyph of Balls + Glyph of Projectiles) (12-40=-28) (-28<10) (-28<0) (-28<-20) (SUPER CRITICAL FAILURE!)
You create a fist-sized ball of energy in your hand, which glows with a purple color. Encouraged by this, you create another, and make the balls split and form more. Soon six energetic missiles are orbiting around your hand, and, satisfied, you stop their growth and duplication.
Except you can't. Try as you might, the balls continue to grow and replicate, constantly sapping energy and life from your body. As they reach the dozens your legs can no longer bear you, and you kneel in your fatigue as the orbs suck energy from your body mercilessly. Your vision begins to darken and your breathing becomes laboured.
The balls have now reached the hundreds, and they draw yet more and more life from you, bringing you closer to death. You now lie on the stone ground, cold as ice, unable to move, staring fearfully at the sky, praying silently to whatever gods are out there to bring you mercy. You can feel your own body growing colder, like the lifeless stone grass under you. A dull thudding beats your ears, and with sharp stabs of pain blood gushes out of your ears, escaping your body with terrifying speed. Within seconds you find yourself lying in a pool of crimson, and the air around you has grown so, so cold...
